Primatene Reviews
For Cold Symptoms "I first used the inhaler about a year ago, which actually seemed to make me worse. I have what doctors call bronchial asthma. So, over a month ago, I started to get sick. Took all kinds of over-the-counter meds, which never seemed to help. Within the last week, my breathing has become so bad that I'm basically only getting a few hours of sleep before I wake up gasping to breathe. I finally decided to try the tablets. At the moment, I have only taken 2, and I feel so much better. I should've gotten these a month ago."
For Cold Symptoms "I have had a horrible cold with terrible coughs and unable to rest much. Mucus and stuffy/runny nose too. I took only one tablet, and it works better than the cold/flu medicine I have been taking for a week. I can breathe better, and my lungs feel much more free to breathe. Thanks!"
For Cold Symptoms "I had shortness of breathe for 2 days. I'm not the type to sit in the emergency room over ever cut and scrape. So I looked for something to help me breathe. I went to the Walgreens and the pharmacy suggested primatene. ITS AMAZING!"
For Cold Symptoms "Took Primatene while on vacation as I had a unexpected reaction to the smoke etc nearby forest fires all over California, I couldn't breath blocked up! This was recommended by my doctor and absolutely worked very quickly too. Did make me feel a little nauseous but I could breath, and that’s all that I cared about."
For Cold Symptoms "I caught the flu a month ago which eventually turned into breathing difficulties and a never ending cough which is not good as I am a professional Singer ! I tried all the cough meds and syrups The cough would not relent ! Then I remembered about Primatene as I seemed to have all the symptoms of previous asthma attacks I had had Within two to three days of taking primatene the endless cough and wheezing has nearly completely stopped. I actually performed tonight for the first time without the continued feeling I have to cough ! It’s done wonders and I highly recommend it It truly truly has helped me to recover from the worst case of flu !"
For Cold Symptoms "After having pneumonia year ago it seems every cold ends in my chest. All the cough med the docs gave me did nothing, but this Primatene worked!!"
